I have a Lubuntu 13.10 installed on a HP Pavillon dv6000. I just bought a new webcam, Make is Growing, model is "Impala PC Camera". I want to use it with skype, but it is not detected at all. Nor it is in cheese. Any help would be appreciated.
The following command gave those results:
lsmod |grep uvcvideo
uvcvideo 71309 0
videobuf2_vmalloc 13048 1 uvcvideo
videobuf2_core 39125 1 uvcvideo
videodev 107508 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core

i am not sure weather it will work or not but may be you can try this script
1st of all your terminal should give you
$ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0 where video0 is your current webcam
then
sudo apt-get install fswebcam then
fswebcam --device /dev/video0 --input 0 --resolution 352x288 --save /var/www/public/webcam/webcam.jpg --skip 20 -vor
fswebcam -r 640x480 -d /dev/video0 -v ./webcam.jpgor simply use software center and install
Darktable Photo Workflow Software
Found one and not anywhere, inside Software Center. Darktable:
